ElderPath is a free senior placement service that helps families find the best senior assisted living, memory care, independent living, and board and care (RCFE) options. We simplify the process by providing expert guidance, personalized recommendations, and support throughout the transition.

The cost of senior assisted living can vary depending on location, level of care, and amenities offered. In California, monthly rates typically range from $3,500 to $7,000. Memory care communities may have different pricing structures due to the specialized services they provide. At ElderPath, our placement services are completely free to families. We’re compensated by the care communities when a placement is made.

Senior Assisted Living - Provides help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication management.

Senior Independent Living - Designed for active seniors who don't need daily care but want a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities.

If your loved one has Alzheimer's, dementia, or severe memory loss, memory care may be the best option over senior assisted living. These facilities offer specialized care, secure environments, and structured routines to support cognitive health and safety.

A board and care home (RCFE) is a small, residential setting for seniors who need personalized care but prefer a home-like environment. These senior assisted living homes typically serve 6-10 residents and offer a high caregiver-to-resident ratio.

Medicare does NOT cover senior assisted living costs.

Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program) may provide financial assistance through specific waiver programs.

Long-term care insurance and VA benefits may help cover expenses.
